This is such a great vehicle and I have this in the 2020 in the silver sky metallic color and I love it. I think that color combo is such a great look with the black roof and rims. I do really like this blue print color also. I am guessing there is no really differences or changes between the 2020 and the 2021 is there. I would really like to see them come out with a couple more color choices like maybe ruby flare, blue flame maybe do an army green or some new color they don't have yet. Do you think they will make this is any other color choices.

I love this and will probably eventually get one, but I have to admit I’m a little disappointed in the leather/vinyl combo. I rather just have all of the tough kind of leather, my vehicle now has it and it has worn well. At this price for a smaller suv, I would’ve wanted full leather in the design.

I LOVE the RAV4! I was looking at a gas model (I am not a hybrid or EV person) vs my Camry. I wish they had the XSE in gas only models but that’s okay. I love the TRD Off Road and Adventure. I ended up with the Camry but that SUV is GREAT!!

What were your reasons for choosing the Camry over the Hybrid? I ask because this is the same dilemma I am currently in...lol

@TodayWithDustin 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheFirst1278 I chose the Camry because no matter the trim you get it rides better than it’s competitor (Honda Accord which is what I traded for my Camry). It sits up higher so I didn’t feel like I was on the ground compared to some other Mid-Size sedans. I personally don’t have children and don’t haul people but I needed 4 doors for my stuff since I travel a lot. Which leads me to MPG which is slightly better than the RAV4 as it’s a Sedan over a SUV. I do go off roading with buddies sometimes so that’s why I wanted a AWD SUV but I just ride with them instead of taking my own vehicle.
